[wikka-community] The cookie in wikka doesn't follow the RFC

[mahefa randimbisoa]

We have 2 problems here:

1) cookie name should not contain @. For this, you just change the
value of the config
wiki_suffix by removing the @. The needed patch is about adding code
to automatically remove old cookies on the next visit.

2) Wikka cookies should live only on Wikka path, ie, if you install
WikkaWiki at /wiki/, applications installed in /cgi-bin/ for example
should not be interferred with Wikka cookies. This is (going to be)
fixed in 1.1.7

I'll create a ticket to change the default value of wiki_suffix.
